Video Game Reviews of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Customer Review: Pure joy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a theory about games like these. My theory is that their developers have secret access to a mysterious element called Happy, which they tuck into the microchip before shipping the game. This causes the strange effect of players not being able to cease smiling as they play the game. I have fallen under the effects of Happy, and here's why.
I loved the look of this game. Clear, sharp, and colorful, with gorgeous animation. I highly reccomend that you play it on a DS or GBA SP, as the extra light heightens the graphics to glorious levels.
The battle system is wonderful. You may not be able to believe that the superb Paper Mario combat system would translate well to a handheld, but ah, how wrong you'd be. Timing the button presses takes concentration, but is never frustrating or boring. You can use hammers, jumps, or even magical powers to attack, as well as an array of fun items.
Then there are the puzzles. This is where the Happy element is in its strongest form. As you progress in the game, you'll earn new abilities, and each and every one will help you solve the near-perfect puzzles. Use your hammer to whack the brother in front of you into the ground...light your partner's pants on fire to make him dash...or jump on his head to reach a high ledge. Whatever it is you have to do, it always makes sense. For this reason, I would reccomend playing without a strategy guide, since using one would ruin the fun of figuring the puzzles out.
The story, which is beautiful in its simplicity, has many twists and turns, so you never know what you might be doing next. One minute you could be hunting for beans to make Yoshis lay eggs, and the next you might be strategically using your hammer to help a fashion designer dye her clothes. This keeps the game fresh and exciting at every turn.
RPG elements are integrated masterfully. You can gain experience, level up, and even buy new equipment. These features add to the game, but never become a pain.
From the beginning, which features Mario running around in his underwear, to the end sequence, wherein Bowser is tied to the back of a plane in a gigantic gift box, this game is pure joy. So play it already. Feel the Happy.
Customer Review: Good for the hardcore and people who do not know what GBA is
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is good for anyone that is a hardcore gamer and the person who is very softcore. The game puts a lot of its money on being funny. It works well and should make you laugh. Now this game is off the wall. You will go to the Beanbean kingdom and Teehee valley. You may think it is for kids, but it is challeging and not in the 1 fish, 2 fish, red fish style. So anyone can play. It offers a lot of simple concepts so anyone that is nerdaphobic can understand such as syrup restores pp and mushrooms restore hp.
The story they tell is not the story for the whole game. Many plot twists. The start of the game, a witch posing as a queen goes to princess Peach's casle with the alibi of strengthning their kingdom's ties. The queen turns out to be a witch and steals Peach's voice. You must team up Mario and Luigi to save Peach's voice.
With Mario's RPG inovativeness, you have control over your character's actions in battle. this time in a Mario RPG, it is more of an, well, RPG. The characters have increasing strength and their are no chapters. Making the game more adult.
The combo system is changed too, instead of reducing by 1 or counterattacking by 1, you can dodge easily and couterattack according to your character's power. You can team up Mario and Luigi for a team attack. More simple elements. The only buttons you touch in battle are the d-pad and A+B. A for Mario and B for Luigi. Still challegeing.
The music is not that good most of the time, just during certain boss battles. But it is not enough to bring the gaming experience down.
Overall this game is simple yet challegeing, hilarious, one of the best GBA games I have played so far.
I recommend it to anyone openminded.
